With Tang Ze's guidance, Conan easily passed the police's guard.
As soon as they entered the first warehouse, Tang Ze and his companions discovered that the four suspected people, Dr. Agasa, and Inspector Megure were all in the warehouse.
"Huh? Why are you all here?" Tang Ze asked after seeing a few people.
"Ason's leg is seriously injured. We need to send him to the hospital." Director Mikami explained.
"His foot is injured like that, I'm afraid he won't be able to play Godzilla for a while..." Agasa looked at the painful expression on Asong's face as he was helped up, and couldn't help but say regretfully.
"Forget Godzilla, I can't even play the role of an ordinary person." Anda held Asong's arm with an annoyed look.
I don't know if he was talking to Dr. Agasa or hinting at the fact that Song gave up Godzilla and wanted to play an ordinary role.
Of course, although he looked full of resentment, he still took good care of Asong.
Seeing that Osong was about to be taken away by several people, Conan hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Uncle Osong, didn't you show us Godzilla's claws at noon? Does it have feet?"
"Of course!" Asong asked with a cold sweat on his forehead: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
"It's okay." Conan chuckled and the two of them fell silent.
Watching several people carrying Osong away, Conan immediately started looking for something in the column marked "knife", but soon he felt a pain in his finger.
When he took out his finger, there was a long cut on his index finger caused by a knife.
"Wait... If that's the case, then the criminal can only be that person!!" Conan turned and looked at the four people who were walking out the door with a serious expression.
"So that's what's going on..."
Tang Ze on the side also showed a look of understanding, and at the same time he admired Conan's powerful reasoning ability. Although he reminded the other party accidentally, it was the other party who reminded him later.
If Conan hadn't found so many clues later, Tang Ze wouldn't have seen the true situation.
"It's just that he's too self-absorbed... He thinks I see through everything..."
Tang Ze felt amused but also dissatisfied with the situation.
He hopes to have the real strength and confidence to face all of this, rather than just building castles in the air, otherwise it will be exposed sooner or later.
At this moment, he was even more eager to become a real detective. He didn't want to follow Conan every time and find the truth only after the other's hints.
Although his current strength is not as good as his opponent's, fortunately, time is on his side. This chaotic timeline allows him to continue learning and enhancing his abilities, and the system brings the possibility of becoming stronger quickly.
"It seems the case can be concluded." Tang Ze said to Conan with a smile.
"Ah, then I'll leave it to you." Conan looked at Tang Ze and said, "With you here, there's no need for me to show up."
"Well, leave it to me." Tang Ze waved his hand to stop the four people who were about to leave.
"I'm sorry, but I can't let you leave for now." Tang Ze smiled at the bewildered crowd, "Because the criminal is among you!"
"Nani!!" Inspector Megure said in shock, "Are you telling the truth, Karasawa-kun?!"
"Of course." Tang Ze nodded and smiled, "How could I say anything without any certainty?"
"Then Tang Ze-jun, as someone who has experienced it firsthand, should know, right?"
Inspector Megure said solemnly, "You chased the criminal in the Godzilla suit, but after you reached the rooftop, you lost him.
Only the costume was burning and fell to the ground below.
If you know who the culprit is, you must solve this mystery first!"
"Well, this technique is actually very simple. We were just stuck in our usual thinking and didn't see it right away."
Facing Inspector Megure's question, Tang Ze chuckled and began to explain: "I thought about it again. When we chased the criminal again, Miss Youmei, Conan and I only saw the tail of the criminal.
This tail was a real tail, because the opponent was wearing Godzilla's suit, and Godzilla's tail disappeared when it turned the corner.
But in fact, none of us saw the prisoner actually go up the stairs."
"But there are painted footprints on the stairs. This is an indisputable fact. There are each other's footprints from the corridor all the way to the stairs leading to the rooftop!" Inspector Megure continued to ask questions.
"This is the key to this method!" Tang Ze looked at Inspector Megure and asked, "If I say that those footprints were left there by the criminal in order to pretend he climbed onto the rooftop, would you believe it, Inspector Megure?"
"How could I possibly believe that?" Inspector Megure said angrily, "If those footprints had been in the hallway from the beginning, they would have been discovered long ago, wouldn't they?"
"But what if the footprints were only on the flight of stairs leading to the rooftop?"
Tang Ze asked back, "Those are the stairs leading to the rooftop. Generally speaking, few people go there. If you're not going there on purpose, it's normal to be missed, right?
The reason I'm sure of this is that the murderer made a huge mistake!"
"A mistake?" Officer Megure looked at Tang Ze and said, "In other words, you have evidence that those were footprints that the criminal had left there beforehand?"
"right!"
Tang Ze confirmed: "The evidence is that there are traces of Godzilla's tail scraping across the paint on the corridor, and on the stairs leading to the rooftop, there are only clean footprints and no traces of the tail dragging on the paint!
I'm afraid the prisoner didn't think of this at all at the time!
In other words, after the criminal escaped to the corner and left our sight, he did not go to the rooftop at all, but quickly went to the bottom of the stairs and took off Godzilla's suit!
Then he took the prop costume to the utility room at the corner of the stairs, lit the Godzilla suit and threw it out of the window to the ground.
In this way, we who followed the footprints would naturally think that the criminal had escaped to the rooftop.
But there was no one on the rooftop, only the burning Godzilla suit that had fallen to the ground!
So it became this bizarre case of "the criminal disappeared on the rooftop!"
Simply put, this is more like another manifestation of "one leaf blocking the view", which makes people only see the leaves in front of them and ignore the surrounding affairs.
In this case, the painted footprints not only guided the actions of Tang Ze and others, but also made them ignore other very simple possibilities.
Because they were in a chase and time was running out, they saw the footprints spreading upstairs, so their brain commanded their body to follow without hesitation, but they ignored the fact that there was a downward direction on the stairs.
And this is exactly what the criminal wants to see.
